Chocolate Ginger Cookies Recipe
Whether you are in the frigid blustery northeast, or the a-bit-nippy southwest this time of year, chances are you are enjoying time with your family and friends. Sharing stories of the old, promises of the new and hopefully a cookie and a brew or two. Dark spiced ales are aplenty and ginger cookies warm plates in piles. The gooey chocolate oozes together with the roasted malts and the snappy sweet ginger joins the mulling spices in a rousing chorus sure to bring your party to a revel.
With the addition of Tettnanger hops and almond extract,our Spiced Christmas Ale brings a couple of extra friends to the celebration table. Even if one is a little bitter and the other is a bit nuts, we love them still because they fit right in with our pairing get-together. That touch of hoppyness rings in unison with the bitter aspect of the cocoa, while the smooth almond backnote finds the vanilla.
